USATODAY.com - Apparent hacker attack strikes Web site

The USA TODAY Web site was taken out of service for three hours early Friday after hackers apparently penetrated the site and vandalized the homefront.

Editors shut down public access to the site until the source of the disruption could be determined and control over publishing could be restored.

The attack occurred shortly before 11 p.m. ET, and the site was taken offline soon afterward. Service was restored at about 2 a.m.

The source of the intrusion was not immediately determined.

ABOUT EBC

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
